An Indigenous Futurist reimagining of landscape, addressing imperialism, ownership, and place.This beautifully illustrated volume presents the layered imagery of contemporary Indigenous North American artist Andrea Carlson and is the first book that explores the work of this fascinating contemporary artist on the rise. Using oral and archival research, as well as art historical and philosophical theory, Carlson (Grand Portage Ojibwe descent) creates multipanel landscapes on the themes of museum collection practices, consumption, possession, and repatriation. Her work addresses the colonial construction of landscape genre painting and imperial concepts of land ownership and connection to place.Published to accompany the artist’s first major museum solo exhibition at the Denver Art Museum, October 5, 2025–January 18, 2026.
